general problems of the 2017 Cadillac Escalade

When driving at lower speeds the vehicle is hard to stop. I have to press the brakes down hard to get it to stop. A message will usually come up saying to service the brake assist but no maintenance lights show up. In looking online there is a recall with this exact issue that I’m having but it start at the 2018 model in which mine is a 2017. I feel the 2017 should also be part of the recall since I’m having the exact same issue.

I was exiting an off ramp and the brake pedal suddenly became hard as a rock and no matter how much I pushed on it the vehicle would barely slow down. I was really close to smashing into the back of a semi truck. There was no warning prior to it happening and my service advisor at the gm dealer said gm knew about the issue with the brakes and have not issued a recall in relation to the incident, only a bulletin that it is to be covered if it breaks. However I could have died if I hit the semi considering I was going highway speeds. My vehicle is currently at the gm dealer and I have not heard back from them yet. As of now they have not inspected it and it is available for inspection if need be.

My family and I were driving and the car started breaking and turning the wheel then died . We took it to the dealership 3x and on the third time they found a code for the safety module on each incident the car was difficult to control and it put my families life at risk. I have sent an email to mr roth with gm of my concerns.

•available for inspection. Unknown exact system failure •issue regularly occurs •dealership service. Transmission had to be replaced at around 10k miles and covered by warranty. •no lights indicating any problems. Forward collision alert activated. Vehicle has a lag between the time pressure is applied to the gas pedal and it causes a delay in acceleration resulting in the vehicle sort of lunging forward unexpectedly. About 15-20 seconds after the gas pedal is pressed it will have a sudden burst of quick acceleration. It only lasts a few seconds and there’s no time to correct the sudden acceleration by braking. I finally realized the seriousness of the issue after I very close to being in an accident today as a result of the delayed acceleration. I was stopped at a red light and pressed the gas once it turned green, another driver happened to change lanes as soon as we crossed the intersection, moving to the front of my vehicle, probably closer than they should have but more than able for me to react under normal circumstances if needed. However, it occurred at the same time my vehicle randomly had a burst of acceleration and I had to swerve into the next lane to avoid hitting the car, because I wasn’t expecting to speed forward and did not have time to correct by braking. It happens about 40% of the time when going over 15-20mph (estimate) after I come to a complete stop and then press the gas to begin moving again. For example it won’t do it if I’m letting off the break to movie forward at a stop sign or lines, etc. It only happens when I accelerate with the intention of being able to reach the posted speed limit before I’d need to make another stop. Stop lights are the primary issue, as well as when exiting somewhere to get back onto the road, for example the gas station.

The brake assist function has been very sketchy and coming on unexpectedly and the emergency braking when reversing is malfunctioning and coming on unexpectedly with no need in error in a very hard/ fast stop. Yes its available for inspection. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? this puts my saftey as well as others at risk because the brake system is malfunctioning and at times unpredictable, and making quick/hard stops when not expected or necessary. The car was just in the dealership for repair of the break assist and I am sending it back in again because it is still malfunctioning. The vehicle has been inspected by the dealership. The brake assist light was coming on and off , sometimes but not all of the time and now that the car was serviced by the dealership the light is not coming on but their are still malfunctions. I do not feel safe driving this car.

When applying the brakes at a slow speed (>20 mph), the brakes seem “spongy”. The brake pedal seems to require further travel to stop the vehicle. It feels as if air is trapped in the hydraulic system and this does not happen all the time, it is an intermittent problem.

I was travelling down the highway and the brakes failed to respond. I was able to deliver the car to a Cadillac dealer in holland michigan. At highway speeds with no breaks I believe my families lives were in danger. We have brought the car into the dealership multiple times for electrical system issues and I believe these unresolved issues have culminated in the failure of the braking system at high speeds. The dealer has stated that it was a vacuum pump and it has now been replaced but found no other issues with the electrical system. There was a warning light for the brake assist feature during the drive prior to the brakes not functioning. We reported this to the dealer during the drive and they made an appointment for the following Thursday (this was on a Saturday). We were not notified at the time of the call that this issue could put our lives in danger or that we should stop driving the car.

The service abs brake please see dealer message has come up on my dash 3 times in the past 5 weeks. Each time the message appeared the vehicle operated very strangely when braking, the whole vehicle shook and made weird noises so I immediately turned around went home and grabbed our other vehicle. I then called Cadillac and made an appointment at jake sweeney Cadillac in lebanon ohio for service. The first two times they said they fixed this issue the most recent time they said they found no codes and were unable to figure out why this message appeared on my dash.

Vehicle is affected by steering and breaks the car jurks.

At low speeds the brake pedal becomes very slugs if pressed quickly for sudden stop, wile the truck continues to travel for a short distance.

My car was the subject of a brake recall n192268490, I have had it to the dealer in flemington gm twice, the last time approximately 2 weeks ago. My car was kept for nearly 10 days and I still have a problem with the brakes, specifically hard braking and prolonged braking distance. Today at 1045 am I called customer service at Cadillac gm and they were completely unhelpful telling me to bring it back to the dealer again. I need this fixed in a competent fashion.

The first time I pushed my brake pedal and the brakes did not employ got a few seconds. I pulled over and called lafontaine Cadillac service department to tow the car. The car dash displayed a power assist problem. They picked up the car and replaced the vacuum pump which fixed the problem. About 6 months to a year later, the same problem happened again. The brakes were pushed and the car brakes did not deploy for a few seconds. It was like the car was skidding on ice when no ice existed on the roads. It was warm outside. The car again displayed brake assist issue. I took the car back to lafontainr Cadillac, and they replaced the vacuum pump again. A few months later, the brakes were pushed again in a driveway when the car was going maybe 3 mph or less. The brakes did not deploy for a second or so and the car appeared to be sliding. This happened also in the summer. The car again is at lafobtaine Cadillac, highland michigan. My car is a 2017 Cadillac Escalade esv.

It has happened several times , while driving in a parking lot at 10 mph while making a turn the engine shut off, lost steering and brakes and the stabilitrak warning light came on. . . The engine restarted in about 5 seconds. . . I contacted Cadillac main office lawanda 855-880-1400 ex 5911833 and sent a email to mary barra ceo. . . They gave me a case # 9-5065905042 they are aware of the problem and recalled over one million vehicle but my VIN number has not been added yet. . They will not fix it till gm adds my VIN to the national recall #18289. . . I was told off the record that money trumps consumer safety. . . . They are making us pickup the car with the knowledge by us driving the car could kill someone if we loose steering and brakes while driving. . .
